You’ve mentioned that the Chinese they themselves are not indigenous Thai but due to their wealth and influence have changed the very nature of the social culture in the kingdom. And they now control not only Thailand economy but make up the highest percent in terms of representation within Thai government. Could you also please tell us is Aussie white the indigenous people of Australia? How many percent of the aborigines are representing the Australia governments? How many percent of the Australia economy is control by the aborigines? I will like to hear your comments. In addition, I would like to humbly request you to read the below acticle. Thank you, Yasoboy Race laws restored after Aboriginal crackdown • Published: 22/06/2010 at 02:53 PM • Online news: Asia Australia reinstated race discrimination laws in the remote Northern Territory region Tuesday after suspending them for three years to pursue a controversial crime crackdown in poor Aboriginal townships. Australia's indigenous peoples are believed to have numbered around one million at the time of white settlement, but there are now just 470,000 out of a population of 22 million, and they are the country's most disadvantaged minority. Indigenous Affairs Minister Jenny Macklin called the suspension, enacted under conservative former prime minister John Howard but amended in parliament late on Monday, a "blight" on Australia's image. "This is an important achievement. The legislation removes what has been a blight on Australia?s reputation as the land of a fair go (chance)," Macklin said. Disabling the legislation allowed Howard to send troops into Outback Aboriginal towns, restrict welfare payments and ban alcohol, under a so-called "intervention" policy condemned as disrciminatory by the United Nations. Macklin said the suspension of race laws left Aborigines, Australia's original inhabitants with a culture stretching back tens of thousands of years, feeling "hurt, betrayed and less worthy than other Australians". "Reinstating the RDA (Race Discrimination Act) restores dignity and helps Indigenous Australians to take ownership of their lives and to drive change in the Northern Territory," she said. Aborigines are believed to have numbered around one million at the time of white settlement, but there are now just 470,000 out of a population of 22 million, and they are Australia's most disadvantaged minority. Centre-left Prime Minister Kevin Rudd delivered an historic apology in February 2008 for past mistreatment after British settlers arrived in Sydney Cove in 1788, but refused to reverse the controversial intervention. UN special rapporteur James Anaya in February condemned the policy as discriminatory and said it stigmatised a group which already suffered disproportionate rates of infant mortality, health problems and suicide. Anaya said the intervention was at odds with Australia's human rights obligations and called for the race laws to be reinstated as a matter of priority. Macklin said Tuesday the intervention's measures had been overhauled to comply with the Act and reflect "special measures that help indigenous people in the Northern Territory achieve equal human rights". In February, two years after the apology, Rudd conceded progress towards improving Aborigines' lives had been too slow, with wide gulfs remaining in life expectancy, child mortality and health.
